Is or will Windows Mobile Device Center be compatible with Windows 10?  There are some legacy devices that require sync with WMDC and then there are security personnel that do not allow devices to connect to their Wi-Fi but rather connect them via USB using WMDC.  I was able to get WMDC to work successfully on Windows 8 and 8.1.  So far I have not heard any news in regards to Windows 10.  Looking forward to hearing results and or news regarding this.  Thx everyone.

Sync Center is still there in Windows 10 (Windows key + X > click Control Panel)

    I am using an HP iPAQ rx4240.  All drivers are updated.  I can't check off in the Mobile Device 6.0 when the iPAQ is connected to my desktop the calendar and address options. 

    Still waiting for Microsoft to fix this issue with a patch or fix that isn't complicated in order to make it all work again in Windows 10 Professional like it did in Windows 7 Professional.

    I've had Windows10 working for a while but it seems that the latest update pushed by Microsoft broke WMDC, the screen never opens, if I try to open it I see the opening screen "Please Wait while  Windows Mobile Device Center Starts" but it never starts it just goes away.

    The strange thing is that it sees the cradle but not the device docked in it.  I need this for work, please help.

    Thanks

    It may help but look around for WMDC-Helper.exe

    this utility seemed to fix no end of the niggling issues with not responding to cradling or the WMC not firing up, corrects app permission and registry issues.

    I have recently built a clean build of win10 and installing mobile sdk, power utills and allsorts would not bring back functionality until I came across it

    full details here

    I definitely recommend a read, pretty much worked instantly

    For the longer issue of WMS not always responding to cradling, well that's still out their. manually starting WMC will pick up the cradled unit although its a pain.
